US Journalist Alder: Resigned or Forced to?

Andrew Adler, the owner and publisher of the Jewish weekly "Atlanta Jewish Times" announced his resignation on Monday after publishing an op-ed in which he suggested that "Israel" assassinate US President Barack Obama.

Adler decided to step down as editor and handed those authorities to one of his reporters.
 
Meanwhile, CNN reported that the Secret Service has launched an investigation into Adler's activities.

In his column, published last week, Adler laid out what he said were three options available to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in countering the threat posed by Iran's nuclear program.

One of the options was to "give the go-ahead for US-based Mossad agents to take out a president deemed unfriendly to Israel in order for the current vice-president to take his place, and forcefully dictate that the United States' policy includes its helping the Jewish state obliterate its enemies."

The other two options, according to Adler, are to attack Hizbullah and Hamas or defy the US - which he said is willing to let "Israel" "take a lethal bullet."

According to Adler, who later apologized for his column, Obama has an "Alice in Wonderland belief in diplomacy over force."
